Note: This case has been tagged as "legacy" as it no longer meets image preparation and/or other case publication guidelines.

The upper zones demonstrate coarsening of the pulmonary parenchymal markings with focal lucencies suggesting cystic spaces. 

CT demonstrates irregular lucencies/cystic spaces most marked in the upper zones.
